[kellie_w]

Oh no ally! Huge hugs to you too. A friend of mine has hugely recommended soluble vitamin c for colds, may be worth ggiving It a go. How typical to get it right before Christmas, hoping it won't last too long xxx

I am going to have a trip down to Boots later when Dave gets home from work and see what i can get to help the girls- Izzy is easy enough calpol etc, but dont know how i can help the little munchkin x

Hi ladies. Well Reimi didnt fall asleep till 5am then marcs alarm went off at 5:35am and woke her up... Needless to say, im about totaled.

The community mw came over today and I told her how I was feeling, she was taken back by it as (as others say) I look really good. She was concerned about everything and she sent around a HV. I chatted to her and had a good cry and ive been given a routine to try on Reimi to switch her days/nights around, even if it just gives me 2-4 hours. She asked me to go to GP for medication but I declined and said id go in a weeks time if my mood doesnt improve. I still cant talk to Marc (properly) about this as some of the problem is him (giving absolutely no help past 9pm) and im not comfy to talk to mum even though shes concerned for me, so if its alright, you ladies and my HV will be a pair of ears for me. Hope thats ok

Hope everyone elce is doing ok xxx

Thats a big step in the right direction Inoue, youve actually spoken to somebody about it which is a good start - well done you, its hard to admit that you are struggling. You do need to talk to Marc, as you need his help and support but do it in your own time, when you feel comfortable rather than forcing it and possibly arguing about it.

Here for you anytime you need me lovely

Time, Lovely to hear from you I had wondered where you have gone lol really pleased to hear that Wren is doing so well too! How are you getting on now that your hubby has gone back to work?

Kellie, from 4oz to 8oz! Wow, thats one hell of a jump isnt it! That constant whine sounds annoying as hell though :S Thats the kind of thing that would definately grate on me to be honest. Big hugs, hope your day got better since posting that

Ally, Sorry to hear your all sicky with the colds Tis the season for flu bugs and viruses fa la la la laaa la la la laaaaa...wait, that's not how the song goes at all...although it should be lol Hope you manage to get over it soon so your all better for christmas

Pops, I would say it sounds like Flynn is going througha bit of a growth spurt rather than anything colic wise. Got my fingers crossed that the growth spurt passes fast though and you can get some rest very very soon!

Logan has been a bit iffy today, only taking about 80-90ml out of his usual 150ml bottles. He just doesnt seem interested bless him. Hes had diahorrea today as well, 4 times in quick succession earlier. Cant get in to see the drs until next bloody thursday though so going to see what he's like tonight (my prediction: loud, angry and poopy) and if he's still dodgy, ill take him walk in center tommorrow. When he's awake he seems fine, nice and alert etc, but hes just sleepy when taking his bottles bless him.

Love to all xxx

Well done Inoue- great that you had the confidence to talk to someone. Please come on here and talk it all out, we cant do much but a problem shared and all that....and some virtual hugs!
U need to talk to Marc, do not bottle it up, you need to tell him how you feel and get him to help out more. Has he got time off over christmas?

Sarah- hows Logan doing? Are you going to take him to the docs? Wonder if its a reaction to gaviscon?

We were supposed to have our 6 week check today but decided to postpone them until next week as want to keep the girls warm, dont want to spread their germs or want them picking up more at the docs. Bonus is next wk Dave is off so he can have Izzy and i can take the car to docs instead of bus!

[Sarahcake]

Morning ally. can't say I blame you for putting it off, if everyone's got colds the last thing you want is to be dragging you all out of the house. How are you all feeling today?

I've not taken him doctors as we can't get an appointment until next Thursday! Real helpful. He seems better today, he's taken his last few feeds fine between 120-150mls so back to normal and he is peeing fine now just has the runny poops still am gonna keep an eye and if it doesn't clear then I'm gonna have to take him A&E as there's no walk in center nearby here.

 

[Scally]

I am feeling better just taking paracetamol regularly, Izzy is better but nose still streaming and being ultra sensitive! Poppy bless her heart is so snuffly, she seems ok, just sounds so bad x

Thats so bad about docs, i really think the should do priority apps for babies. Glad he is feeding better, not good about the poops though x

 

[Sarahcake]

Aww poor babies I hate seeing kids poorly, makes me want to grab them all and hug them till they are better lol especially the babies because there's so little you can do for them really.

Yeah it's really bad tbh, I've been looking online and places says if a baby has diarrhoea under the age of 3 months then they need to see a doctor right away...well that's great, if they will see you. The thing is the drs are actually lovely there and will try there hardest to squeeze you in but the receptionists just block it and strait off say no.

Got the health visitors nurse coming around this after noon to weigh Logan, she's just contacted me which is a stroke of luck really so will ask her what she thinks we should do. If its a walk in center job then so be it but it has to wait until Neil is home from work as its in the next city over and I don't drive.

 

[Inoue]

Glad LO is eating better Sarah . Im not sure if this helps but I think Reimi had the squits about a week ago, it was very runny and just kept coming (like how adults are). It carried on for 2 odd days untill it sorted its self out (gave more boob than formula). I was worried due to google comments but unless ite basically water, I think its not as serious as your thinking. Hope he feels better soon hun

Xx

 

[kellie_w]

Just a quick stop by from me, I just wanted to share Oliver's weight gain, despite being ill he has gained 3Ib and gone from 8Ib 6 to 11Ib 6 in 4 weeks! Following the 75th centile, I'm a proud mummy, and feel less of a failure for giving up expressing!

Hope you are all well and ready for Christmas xxx

 

[Inoue]

Congratulations kellie, awesome weight gain

Ive also given up BF/expressing 2 days ago. Quite sad as I miss the contact but im glad shes happy on formula .

Hope a good weekend all. Good luck if your braving the shops today! X

 

[Scally]

Fantastic weight gain Kellie! Did the HV do a 6 week check too? Mine is coming in January to do it- so they have one with the doc and HV? Have you been signed off from HV now? Hows Luke? You all prepared for christmas? Is Wes off now? (yay if he is!!!!!! you can relax a wee bit!). Dave has christmas eve, then off for a week! woohoo!

Inoue- how are you doing?

Sarah- hows Logan doing? How are you feeling? Hope you are feeling better today and recover quickly.

Poppy has finally finished her growth spurt- fingers crossed the 6 week growth spurt stays away for a bit- so when Dave got home from work yesterday I had a very long shower and actually managed to condition my hair! I was so excited! Such a luxury! Didnt get to dry it or even brush it, but Izzy fell over and smashed a tree decoration the same time as Poppy wetting through her clothes! lol.

Inoue- there is no way i am going near the shops today other than our local co-op to get some milk! Anyone braving them this weekend?

Hope Lauryn, pops and Time are well and your babies are doing good.

[Sarahcake]

Wow Kellie! That's an amazing gain! Well done you

Still feeling just as shite but Neil has been great and is letting me sleep it off whilst he looks after Logan. Think it will be a day in bed for me today, feel really achey and weak and throw up as soon as I stand up fingers crossed this sods off for tommorrow.

I'm not going anywhere near shops now until after Xmas! But Neil still hasn't gotten my pressie apparently so I think he's going in today :s rather him than me!

Just realised my ticker is broken...bizzare :s was fine before and now it's 3 days out.

Edit: ignore me, I've just realised that it goes by the 21st of each month as a month gone by and not from the day o his birth, like every Wednesday is another week. Hard to explain but I know what I mean.

Hi Michelle!

This thread is actually from last June! We've all had out babies now massive congratulations, I also had a boy and boys are wonderful!! Good luck with your pregnancy xxx

 

[pops23]

Ladies, all well with Flynn and I, he's being weighed Monday, will let you know hi weight.

Last night he slept 11-3, in carrycot, it was magic! I actually got 4 hours sleep in my own bed on my own, whoop! So glad lee is off for Xmas now as can help more, while he was o. Paternity leave I almost didn't want him to do too much so that I could cope when he went back to work, but now I know I can cope I am happy with all the help I can get! Xx

 

[Scally]

Hey Michelle, congratulations! I am sure there is a due in June 2012 thread, this was from when we were very impatiently waiting for our scans!

Hey pops! Go for it with Lee doing lots! Enjoy the time to relax! And yay for Flynn sleeping in his carrycot! Fantastic!

x

 

[Sarahcake]

Best of luck with your pregnancy Michelle, it will seriously fly by honestly!! I too have a boy and Pops is right, boys are lovely

Pops so pleased to hear you got a good couple of hour sleep! Thats awesome! I was the same when Neil was on leave, didnt want to get too used to him doing things and then struggling when he went back to work but now he's off, im taking full advantage of the extra help. Looking forward to seeing how much Flynn weighs, he really is a gorgeous little boy

 

[pops23]

Thanks sweetie, will let you know. He's currently in his sling fast asleep and has been for the last 2 1/2 hours so I've managed to get lots done and am now sitting on the sofa scoffing chocolate, he he xx
